2016 Map of Stratton

About this map

The Rainy River defines the international boundary between the United States and Canada on this northern Minnesota landscape. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain is characterized by the low-lying wetlands of Koochiching County, where small drainages like McCloud Cr flow toward the primary river channel. The infrastructure is defined by a sparse grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy 4 and various county routes such as Co Rd 124 and Co Rd 153, which provide access to the surveyed sections of Township 160 North, Range 28 West and Township 160 North, Range 27 West. This survey highlights the intersection of international borders and the natural hydrography of the borderlands, showing how the river serves as both a physical barrier and a geographic anchor for the region.
